Steam By the Month Seasonal Science for Teachers And Parents
500 Monthly Science Activities
Your child's natural curiosity makes it easy to introduce science concepts during everyday activities. They naturally are interested in investigating everything in the world around them using all their senses.
We can nurture their curiosity by giving them opportunities to interact with objects, living things and experiences that promote learning in a safe environment. Science starts with understanding concepts that develop as early as infancy.
One of the first scientific processes is observation which uses all the senses.
Children are inquisitive and ask questions that arise from what they observe. We try as adults to give them accurate responses, but sometimes we may not know the answer.
Will you teach by themes? It is an effective way of teaching because it is an effective way to learning for kids. If you do, this is your dream place for science activity ideas — organized seasonal science activities for each month of the year. It is seasonal by holidays, seasons, whether, nature changes, such as plants, trees and animals. Altogether there are over 500 activity ideas, each theme includes activities for preschool to high school students.
